ok stupid thing here. Can you tell me how the fuel tank actually mounts. I mean i know that it used straps and slips in a bracket at the front and bolts up in the back but are all the attachment points on the frame or body or both?
The guy who i bought it from raised the tank and the straps fronts are on the body and the bolts are on the back but i have no clue if this is thee way they mount from the factory. Here are a few pics.
Yes, that is how it mounts.
The tabs have a T shape that slides in the holes in the bottom two pictures and they bolt to the two bolts in the first picture.
ok i knew how they mounted with the t slots and the bolt mounts i just was not sure that they mounted on the body and on the frame? Any idea on how to remount the shocks since they cut off the upper mount that they shocks would normally mount into?
Thanks for the help to clarify tho. for some reason i thought that the t slot and the bolts of the mounts were all on the frame.
Also would you happen to have a picture of one or yours by chance if you have one. I am trying to find out the angle and make sure the tank angle is right on mine since i didnt do it?
Ok think i have this figured out, but i can use a fuel tank from a 94-99 tahoe as long as it is a 2wd 2door right? and then just get the sending unit to match. I can find 94-97 all day long in the salvage yard but no 98-99.
I'm sorry, I'm not on this site too often.
Unfortunately I don't have my 2dr anymore. I went through my old pictures and don't have any pictures either. A lot of help I am, hah.
I'm almost positive the tanks are the same regardless if its 2wd or 4wd.
Where are you located? I know the fella who bought mine had a new tank made and may still have the stock tank. It is a 99.
The tanks are actually totally different 2DR vs. 4DR. The 4DR tank is long and skinny and sits along the driver's side framerail around the door area, similar to a pickup. The 2DR tank is rectangular and sits behind the rear axle between framerails similar to a Suburban.

You are correct.
But, I was referring to the 2dr models. Since his is a 98 and mine was a 99.
I might have misread your previous reply. When you said, "same regardless if its 2wd or 4wd" I just saw the 2 and 4 and thought we were still discussing OP's question about if the tanks were the same 2DR vs. 4DR. My bad.
